Cincinnati Bearcats basketball coach Wes Miller has reached into New Hampshire to snare a commitment from 6-foot-1, 184-pound point guard Keyshuan Tillery. Tillery announced via YouTube Friday afternoon.
Tillery comes to the Bearcats as a consensus four-star player via 247Sports, On3 and Rivals. 247Sports lists Tillery as the No. 53 recruit nationally, the No. 6 available point guard and the No. 2 recruit in New Hampshire. Tillery previously played in Albany, New York before joining the New Hampton School.
Tillery’s final three choices were Cincinnati, Wake Forest and Virginia. He had 28 total offers. Playing for the Nike EYBL New York City Rocks, he came into the Peach Jam this summer averaging 13.3 points per game, 4.2 rebounds and six assists. He shot 46.8% from the field and 41.6% from the three-point line according to Zagsblog.
His addition helps the Bearcats next season when Day Day Thomas moves on and Jizzle James (sophomore) could move on professionally.
The Bearcats have also been recruiting 2025 point guard Jalen Reece, a four-star from Orlando who was recently in for a visit. Reece is ranked 12th nationally among point guards according to 247. He is coached by his father, Steve Reece, the founder/CEO of the EYBL Florida Rebels, where Jizzle James once played. Steve Reece also coaches Jalen at Oak Ridge High School and has Cincinnati ties.
Another four-star, 6-foot-5 Davion Hannah from the Link Academy in Branson, Missouri is also scheduled for a UC visit. Hannah is ranked the No. 37 2025 prospect by 247Sports as well as the No. 7 shooting guard and No. 3 recruit in Missouri where the home state Tigers are among a list of top schools along with the Bearcats making a run at him. Wes Miller has had players from Link Academy before including current forward Tyler McKinley.
